Personal representatives (i.e., executors and administrators of the estate) are required to provide beneficiaries and other interested parties (i.e., persons or entities with a financial stake in the estate) with financial information about the estate they are overseeing.

Factors such as the size of the estate, outstanding debts or will disputes can significantly extend this period. For smaller estates, Ohio offers simplified probate options, which can expedite the process.
